Veryfi Batch Processing Limits: 15-Page Cap vs Unlimited Batch Upload
Veryfi enforces a 15-page limit per document with batch queue wait times up to 3 hours. For high-volume firms processing tax season statements, these restrictions create workflow bottlenecks. Here's what unlimited batch processing actually looks like.
TL;DR: Batch Upload Reality Check
Veryfi Batch Limits
- 15 pages max per document
- Up to 3 hours batch queue wait time
- 20MB file size limit (API) / 10MB (web uploader)
- Must manually split multi-page statements
- 60 requests/second rate limiting
Zera Books Unlimited
- Upload 50+ statements simultaneously
- No queue wait - immediate processing
- No page limit per document (handles 100+ page statements)
- Automatic multi-account detection (no manual splitting)
- $79/month unlimited processing
Bottom line: Veryfi's 15-page limit and 3-hour queue times create bottlenecks during tax season when you're processing hundreds of statements. Zera Books handles unlimited batch uploads with no page caps, no queue waits, and automatic multi-account detection—built for high-volume accounting firms.
The Batch Processing Bottleneck

Veryfi's Batch Processing Restrictions (The Fine Print)
Based on Veryfi's official documentation and user reports, here are the technical limits that impact high-volume accounting firms.
15-Page Document Limit
Veryfi's max_pages_to_process parameter caps at 15 pages per document. Bank statements longer than 15 pages must be manually split before upload.
Impact on Your Workflow:
- • Business checking statements: Often 20-40 pages
- • Year-end statements: 30-50+ pages common
- • Multi-account PDFs: Easily exceed 15 pages
- • Must manually split = 5-10 min per statement
3-Hour Queue Wait Times
Veryfi's bulk upload via Dropbox/Box/Google Drive enters a processing queue that can take up to 3 hours to complete, varying by system load.
Impact on Your Workflow:
- • Can't complete same-day client requests
- • Tax season bottlenecks (everyone uploads at once)
- • Must plan uploads hours in advance
- • No real-time processing for urgent clients
File Size Restrictions
20MB limit for API uploads, 10MB for web uploader. Scanned bank statements with images often exceed these limits.
Impact on Your Workflow:
- • Scanned PDFs: 2-5 MB per page typical
- • 10-page scanned statement = 20-50 MB (rejected)
- • Must compress/reduce quality before upload
- • Quality reduction = lower OCR accuracy
60 Requests/Second Rate Limit
API rate limiting restricts how many documents you can process simultaneously, creating artificial processing slowdowns.
Impact on Your Workflow:
- • 100 statements = ~2 minutes minimum processing
- • Can't burst-process during tax season rushes
- • Rate limit errors require retry logic
- • Slows down automated workflows

"We Process 40+ Bank Statements Monthly—Batch Upload Changed Everything"
Manroop Gill · Co-Founder, Zoom Books
"Zoom Books processes over 3 million books monthly across Canada and the US. We have operations in British Columbia and Ontario, with multiple revenue streams—library partnerships, thrift store buybacks, wholesale operations. That's a lot of bank statements to reconcile every month."
"Before Zera Books, our accounting team was spending 2-3 days during month-end close just on manual data entry. We'd download 40+ statements from different banks, open each PDF, and type transactions into QuickBooks. It was tedious, error-prone, and it delayed our financial reporting."
"Now we upload all our statements at once—BC accounts, Ontario accounts, US operations, all together. Zera Books processes them immediately. No queue wait. No manual splitting. We download organized CSV files and import to QuickBooks. What used to take 3 days now takes about 4 hours."
"The batch processing is what makes it work at our scale. We're not uploading one statement at a time. We're processing entire month-end closes in one operation. That's the difference between a tool that works for small firms and a platform that works for businesses operating at scale."
